Chapter 8

(TIME SKIP...THREE MONTHS/G.M.G)

It is now the time of the Grand magic games, and all of the guilds came to participate. During this time, Lucy spent most of her time training, along with her selected team mates, Juvia, Rouge, Sting, and Rufus. Lucy managed to learn a the dragon slayer spells which included colored water that had different abilities. Red water is for fire, white water is for ice, green water is for acid, and black water is for a cement like substance. Juvia also learned some new water techniques. The two became the perfect team when going on missions and they now have seemed to have finally opened up to Saber tooth and actually had a family.

*Fairy tail team/Crocus*

The one team representing Fairy tail, Natsu, Erza, Gray, Gajeel, and Laxus, had just reached Crocus where the games were being held.

"Alright I'm all fired up!" Natsu shouted.

"Calm down flame brain. Save your energy for the games." said Gray.

"Hey Stripper, your clothes." said Gajeel. Gray then panicked and tried to look for his clothes.

"Alright, let's go find the hotel that Fairy tail will be staying in." said Erza. Right before they could all take off, they heard a familiar, yet cocky voice come from behind the group.

"Well, if it isn't the wimpy Fairies." the voice called out. They all turned around to see none other than Sting, along with Rouge and Rufus.

"What do you guys want?" Gray said.

"I just wanted to wish you guys good luck, because this year, Saber tooth is gonna kick your sorry ass." said Sting cockily.

"Yeah right!" Natsu yelled.

He went running towards Sting with a fist engulfed in flames at greater speed then he used to be at. Natsu tried to send his fist at Sting's face, but in a fast blur, something got in the way. There was smoke, or more like steam, in the way to see what got in the way. When it cleared, right in front of Natsu was a girl with brown eyes and long brown hair that reached her waist that had caught his fist and right beside her was a girl with slightly paler skin that had blue eyes and long blood red hair that was in a braid that reached below her hips. They both had on black cloaks that reached their ankles and completely surrounded their bodies.

"Wh-what the?!" Natsu exclaimed. He was able to notice that the girl's hand that caught his fist was also covered in water like a glove.

"Sting, you alright?" the brunette asked over her shoulder. Sting simply nodded and she quickly sent a cold glare at Natsu, along with the girl beside her. The brunette then rudely shoved Natsu's hand away which caused him to fall onto his butt. She took one step closer and looked down at him.

"What do you think you're doing attacking my team mate?" she asked coldly. Natsu just didn't respond. That was by the time the rest of his team came up from behind him.

"You must be the new members of the Saber tooth team." said Erza.

"That's correct." said the red haired girl.

"So, are you gonna tell us your names?" Gajeel said rudely.

"My name is Nazo, and this is Mizu." the brunette said, gesturing to the girl beside her. (Nazo=mystery, Mizu=water)

"Well, I hope you can forgive my team mate's action. I look forward to facing you in the games." Erza said calmly, while holding a squirming Natsu in a head lock. Soon enough, Natsu's entire time left them. Once they were gone, team Saber tooth were alone.

"Jeez Sting, you really need to know the limit of your cockiness." Nazo said after letting out a loud sigh.

"Well my mistake, Nazo." Sting said, emphasizing her name. She let out a small giggle.

"Why do you need a disguise anyway L-" Sting began, but before he could finish, Nazo put a hand over his mouth.

"Shush up will ya? I don't want Fairy tail knowing it's us." said Nazo.

She was actually Lucy in disguise and Mizu was also Juvia. They both made their hair a different color which it would make it stay like that until the hair is cut. And they both changed their scents a long time ago. After making sure no one else was around, Lucy took her hand off of Sting's mouth.

"Alright, now let's head back to our hotel. It's getting late." Lucy said over her shoulder as she started walking.

The others began to follow her, but not even a minute later, Lucy ended up running into somebody. They both ended up falling to the ground. the person Lucy ran into was a boy about her age with black eyes and had almost the same hairy style as Natsu, except it only went out towards the sides. His hair was gray with black lining on the edges, he had on a red tank top with a tall collar around the back of his neck like a cape's collar would have. He wore gray baggy jeans and black combat boots like Lucy. He also had a black armband around his right upper arm. He a weird tattoo on his left shoulder that looked like a knight's helmet that was dark blue color.

"Will you watch where you're going!?" they both shouted at the same time after shooting back up to their feet.

"Me!? You ran into me first!?" they said at the same time again.

"Stop copying me!" they both shouted again at the same time.

They both pretty much ended up doing that every time either one spoke. Not after too long, some one finally came along and separated the two of them, who were now just glaring at each other while against the other's forehead, like Natsu and Gray would do in a fight.

"Ok, that's enough." a girl the same height as the man said. She had light tan skin and black hair tied into a pony tail that reached her mid-back. She had on a purple long sleeve shirt and black short, along with red sandals.

"I'm sorry about my friend. He tends to cause trouble when I'm not around. My name is Rhianna." she said as she extended her hand out to Lucy, who shook the young girl's hand.

"Hi. My name's Nazo." she said politely, keeping her true identity secret.

"This man here is Rave. I'm sure he's really sorry for running into you." Rhianna said as she slightly bowed her head.

"Tch. Like hell he/I am/is." Lucy and Rave both murmured.

They both ended up hearing each other and glared at each other. Rhianna just sweat dropped and laughed at the two of them. After a few moments, Rhianna grabbed Rave's arm and began to drag him away from Lucy and the others, before any fists could start to fly.

"Sorry about him, really. I hope we can meet in the games. We're members of the Black nights guild by the way." Rhianna called out before disappearing with Rave.

"Well, that happened." Sting said awkwardly.

"That will be recorded into my memories." said Rufus tipping his hat forward.

"Come on L-oh, Nazo. We should be going." said Juvia.

"Coming." Lucy said, following her friends. On her minds right now were still the two from that guild, Black nights.

"Heh. I'm looking forward to seeing you two again." Lucy thought.
